Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the wheat berries are tender but still chewy. Drain and set aside to cool.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked, cooled wheat berries, diced apple, pomegranate seeds, dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, and fresh mint leaves.
Step 5
Pour the honey-orange dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
